There are a number of conflicting instructions as to how to correctly perform a dead lift. The problem is that no matter which way you slice it, unless you lift competitively and have no choice, there are safer ways to strengthen.

It came as no surprise to me that Darrelle Revis exited yesterday’s game having aggravated his left hamstring. Hamstring injuries just don’t resolve in a matter of days, especially so when an athlete is required to jump, leap, run and cut with abandon.

Deep breath, Jets fans. Darrelle Revis says he’ll be just fine. The star cornerback was limited in practice Thursday with tightness in his left hamstring, but fully expects to play Sunday in New York’s game against the New England Patriots.
